DESCRIPTION
You can use the soap component to configure a custom monitor, or you can use the default SOAP monitor that the
Global Traffic Manager provides. This type of monitor tests a Web service based on SOAP.
EXAMPLES
create soap my_soap defaults-from soap
Creates a monitor named my_soap that inherits values from the system default SOAP monitor.
list soap
Displays the properties of all of the SOAP monitors.
OPTIONS
debug
Specifies whether the monitor sends error messages and additional information to a log file created and
labeled specifically for this monitor. You can use the log information to help diagnose and troubleshoot
unsuccessful health checks. The default value is no.
The options are:
no Specifies that the system does not redirect error messages and additional information related to
this monitor.
yes Specifies that the system redirects error messages and additional information to the
/var/log/monitors/--.log file.
defaults-from
Specifies the type of monitor you want to use to create the new monitor. The default value is soap.
description
User defined description.
destination
Specifies the IP address and service port of the resource that is the destination of this monitor.
Possible values are:
*:* Specifies to perform a health check on the IP address and port supplied by a pool member.
*:port
Specifies to perform a health check on the server with the IP address supplied by the pool member
and the port you specify.
IP address:port
Specifies to mark a pool member up or down based on the response of the server at the IP address and
port you specify.
expect-fault
Specifies whether the value of the method option causes the monitor to expect a SOAP fault message. The
default value is no.
glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression
syntax.
ignore-down-response
Specifies whether the monitor ignores a down response from the system it is monitoring. The default value
is disabled.
interval
Specifies the frequency at which the system issues the monitor check. The default value is 30 seconds.
method
Specifies the method by which the monitor contacts the resource.
name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required for the commands create, delete, and
modify.
namespace
Specifies the name space for the Web service you are monitoring, for example, http://example.com/. The
default value is none.
parameter-name
If the method has a parameter, specifies the name of that parameter. The default value is bool.
parameter-type
Specifies the parameter type. The default value is none.
parameter-value
Specifies the value for the parameter. The default value is none.
partition
Displays the administrative partition within which the component resides.
password
Specifies the password if the monitored target requires authentication. The default value is none.
probe-timeout
Specifies the number of seconds after which the BIG-IP(r) system times out the probe request to the BIG-
IP system. The default value is 5 seconds.
protocol
Specifies the protocol that the monitor uses to communicate with the target. The default value is none.
regex
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at
sign (@[regular expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for
a description of regular expression syntax.
return-type
Specifies the type for the returned parameter. The default value is bool.
return-value
Specifies the value for the returned parameter. The default value is none.
soap-action
Specifies the value for the SOAPAction header. The default value is the empty string.
timeout
Specifies the number of seconds the target has in which to respond to the monitor request. The default
value is 120 seconds. If the target responds within the set time period, it is considered up. If the
target does not respond within the set time period, it is considered down. Also, if the target responds
with a RESET packet, the system immediately flags the target as down without waiting for the timeout
interval to expire.
url-path
Specifies the URL for the Web service that you are monitoring, for example, /services/myservice.aspx. The
default value is none.
username
Specifies the user name if the monitored target requires authentication. The default value is none.
